Hypothesis
The paper aims to validate an IIoT architecture through experimental application in a real-world microgrid scenario.
Conclusion
The study successfully demonstrates the feasibility and suitability of the proposed IIoT architecture in monitoring and managing data in industrial applications.
Supporting Evidence
- The architecture was validated through four experimental cases in a microgrid setting.
- Grafana was used for data visualization, demonstrating its effectiveness in industrial applications.
- Data acquisition and monitoring were performed using a combination of open-source and proprietary technologies.
- Communication protocols like Modbus TCP and HTTP facilitated seamless data transmission.
Takeaway
This study shows how to set up a system that helps factories use modern technology to monitor and control their machines better.
Methodology
The research involved implementing a four-layered IIoT architecture in a pilot microgrid, using various hardware and software components for data acquisition, storage, and visualization.
Limitations
Grafana cannot directly exchange data with PLC memory, requiring middleware for data handling.
